Gene: Il18 (interleukin 18) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Il18
Name: interleukin 18
RGD ID: 2889
Description: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and interleukin-18 receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in apical plasma membrane and extracellular space. Used to study brain edema; heart disease; status epilepticus; steatotic liver disease; and vasculitis. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cardiac arrest; ischemia (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; allergic rhinitis; autoimmune disease (multiple); biliary atresia; and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human IL18 (interleukin 18); PARTICIPATES IN interleukin-12 signaling pathway; interleukin-23 signaling pathway; interleukin-27 signaling pathway; INTERACTS WITH (+)-taxifolin; (R)-carnitine; (S)-colchicine.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED
Previously known as: IFN-gamma-inducing factor; IL-1 gamma; IL-18; interferon gamma-inducing factor; interferon-gamma-inducing factor; interleukin-1 gamma; interleukin-18
